I had a hard time choosing my card this week what a selection of beautiful cards but I had to chose one. My favourite card this week is a card made by Laura form Loves Rubberstamps blog. Lots of great details and layering. Love her non-traditional colour pallet. Great card Laura.

My choice for this week is Susie's wonderful snowman card. I love how she colored it and the colors she used. I also love all the extra embellishments, and the papers are perfect. Great card for our challenge.

As if raising five children in the frozen land of the North was not enough of a challenge, Jodie Mackrell decided to dip her cold little Canadian toes into the world of paper crafting by opening an online store full of her illustrations. That was three years ago. Today Bugaboo Stamps is one of the leading companies in digital images, and we’re still growing! From seriously snarky to sugary sweet to sublimely soulful all the way over to the other side of the super sexy spectrum, you’re bound to find all that you need and more to create your paper projects. Jodie works very hard to provide New Releases and Freebies every week!

If your taste runs to rubber (and you know who you are), you can find Bugaboo Stamps at Totally Stampalicious . And finally, join the Bugaboo Stamps DT for weekly challenges at Catch the Bug.

Chrissy's card is also my top pick this week. I loved the texture and dimension and the pleasing balance of greens. The cluster of embellishments in the lower corner was delightful, especially the snowflake button!

My pick for this weeks card is Marie's cute stocking card, I love the fact that it is a clean and simple card that would be simple to duplicate. It has great texture to the card between the dots and the glitter, and then the string just makes the perfect touch. Thanks for joining us Marie, hope to see you again soon here at the Holly Jolly Christmas Challenge
